Game Over Not Over for Me novel Chapter 7

Skyspire Shield was once again shocked. He had been so engrossed in watching Alden’s moves that he hadn’t even noticed the assassin had stealthily approached.

After a brief moment of surprise, Skyspire Shield quickly realized, “Frost King, he’s trying to steal the boss!”

Alden ignored Skyspire Shield and focused on the assassin instead.

The assassin was fully equipped, looking almost ready for battle.

His gaze was sharp, filled with murderous intent.

This person wasn’t an ordinary player.

The killer’s killing intent wasn’t something a regular player would possess.

Furthermore, the assassin cut through Alden’s arrow with his dagger.

Such a move was common in the game’s later stages, but it was unusual for the first day.

“Invite me to the party, and we’ll split the boss loot,” the assassin said, his voice cold and emotionless.

Alden shook his head, “No.”

Upon hearing this, the assassin didn’t speak further, retreating again into stealth.

“What the hell? What does he mean by that? Just logged in and trying to steal the boss with stealth?” Skyspire Shield was getting irritated. “Kid, I’m from Skyspire Guild, I advise you to leave now, or else … ”

“Watch out!”

Before Skyspire Shield could finish, Alden shouted, and at the same moment, an arrow shot from his bow.

Whoosh!

The assassin appeared behind Skyspire Shield. Instead of using a backstab, he slashed at Skyspire Shield’s throat.

A crimson critical hit flashed.

-642

Bleeding.

In the next instant, Skyspire Shield collapsed to the ground.

Alden’s gaze sharpened. What a clean and efficient method.

And such high damage!

Even with a critical hit, his attack power had to be over 300 to deal that much damage.

The assassin’s level was 8.

His attack power should only be around 80, even with full attack bonuses.

This meant the assassin’s equipment or passive skills gave him substantial attack power.

Assassins often have passive skills that boost attack power, movement speed, and attack speed.

In fact, most classes had similar skills.

Skyspire Shield respawned at the Rookie Village revival altar, feeling numb as he saw his level drop by one, and a piece of his level 5 equipment was gone.

“What the hell? Did this kid just kill me in one shot?”

Skyspire Shield felt like his entire worldview about the game had shattered. He was a tank, and yet, he had been instantly killed!

Back at the Twisted Treant King’s location.

Alden coldly watched the assassin.

“What’s this? You want to show me your skills?”

With ten years of experience in the game, Alden wouldn’t let anyone outplay him in terms of skill.

The assassin motioned with his finger, then vanished into stealth again.

Whoosh!

Alden immediately nocked an arrow, launching a rapid skill shot.

Two arrows cut through the air, instantly forcing the stealthy assassin to reveal himself.

Whoosh!

Alden didn’t give him a chance. Since the assassin had already been forced out of stealth, he wouldn’t let him go again.

Meanwhile, the Twisted Treant King had started regenerating health.

But Alden wasn’t in a hurry.

Arrows flew continuously as the assassin blocked them with his dagger.

Alden remained calm, his attack speed steady, and his arrows dealt over 500 damage.

Although the game mechanics allowed the assassin to block arrows, the force of Alden’s arrows was so powerful that the assassin’s dagger couldn’t withstand it.

Sure enough, the assassin’s expression darkened after he blocked more than ten arrows.

Faced with the relentless barrage, the assassin didn’t keep using his dagger to block. Instead, he performed a backflip to dodge

Alden’s arrows.

“Seeking death!” Alden sneered and released another arrow that struck the assassin in the abdomen.

The impact from the arrow pushed the airborne assassin back slightly.

Right after, the second arrow followed.

-502

Two arrows and the assassin was dead, returning to the revival altar.

Alden’s eyes lit up as the assassin dropped a pair of boots.

At the same time, Alden noticed something odd–this assassin had substantial health.

He should have been one–shot for an average level 8 assassin by Alden’s first arrow.

Brutal Boots (Elite): Level 7.

Effect 1: +0.5 movement speed.

Effect 2: +1% critical chance.

Durability: 100.

Alden raised an eyebrow. These boots had quite the fitting stats for him.

Too bad they didn’t boost attack speed.

Right now, what he needed most was attack speed.

With a faster attack speed, he could stack more health, and with more health, his basic attack damage would increase as well.

He stashed the Brutal Boots away and continued to attack the Twisted Treant King.

Without any interference, the Twisted Treant King was nothing but a toy in Alden’s hands,

Normally, skills like Thorn Shield, which could reflect all damage, would have affected Alden.

But with his precise shooting, Alden never allowed the Twisted Treant King to cast its skills.

This was also one of the benefits of Newbie Rookie bosses: they didn’t have crowd–control immunity like other high–level bosses.

Ding! “You have defeated the Twisted Treant King beyond your level, experience points +8250.”

Ding! “You are the first player to kill a boss. A server wide announcement will be made. Do you wish to hide your name?”

“No.”

Alden wasn’t concerned with hiding his name for just a first kill.

Besides, he wanted to gain fame.

He needed prestige.

Chapter 7 Lightning Jump

Because only with it could he stand at the pinnacle of power in the future.

To fight against the Alarite Star System, relying on one person’s strength was just a drop in the bucket.

So, Alden had to seize control, to control the entire situation!

“Server–wide announcement: Congratulations to the player Frost King for being the first to kill Twisted Treant King. This announcement is made with the hope that all players will continue to strive forward.”

“Server–wide announcement: Congratulations to the player Frost King for being the first to kill Twisted Treant King. This announcement is made with the hope that all players will continue to strive forward.”

Ding! “Congratulations, you are the first player to kill a boss in Twilight of the Gods. You have received the following rewards: Attribute Points +50, Class Skill Book +1, Class Main Weapon +1, Gold +500.”

Alden’s lips curled into a smile. Sure enough, soloing bosses came with exceptional rewards.

He allocated all 50 Attribute Points to attack speed.

His attack speed went from 1.13 to 2.13.

With that speed, he was now virtually unrivaled.

Lightning Jump (Passive Skill): 1 Star

Effect: Your basic attacks have a 50% chance to trigger Lightning Jump, which can jump to 10 targets within a 66–foot radius. Lightning Jump damage is 10% of your actual damage.

Cooldown: None.

Cost: None.

Proficiency: 0/1000.

Alden raised his eyebrows. This skill was interesting. If its level increased, would the damage rise to 90%?

And would the jump range and target count also improve?

Just imagining it, Alden couldn’t help but shiver.

His damage was already absurd; the only thing missing was the ability to clear mobs efficiently.

But now, with this skill, that one flaw had been completely addressed.
